Just wait outside these “turn-in” points, and offer the person bringing in the firearm twice what the official “gun buy” people are willing to pay, and you will have your pick of a pretty good array of weaponry.

Of course, this may turn out to be a risky business model, as a lot of the sidearms being turned are in poor condition or even unusable, except as salvage. Also, the authorities would be sharply scrutinizing anybody attempting to do such a “pre-buy”.

OK, firearms instructors (there are well over 60,000 of you registered with the NRA) - back away from the keyboard. Enough with the talk:

The NRA website sells the rifle and shotgun student course books for $7. The recently revised and superbly illustrated pistol book is only $11. Go down there and offer courses. Show ‘em what you got - teach on the street with a couple of your buddys. Evangelize.

Are you an NRA recruiter? If not, why not? (For the bottom feeders: you sell memberships for $35 and get to keep $10.)

Think, I almost took a job with a drug company in New London but moved here instead. It cost me about $11K a year to be closer to family but all the blue pills in the world aren’t worth the chicken droppings that our conservative brothers and sisters are putting up with there.
